I have been practicing law in Central Maryland, where I was born and raised, since 1998, leaving the law firm practice briefly to serve as general counsel and manager for a mid-size business in the construction industry. Beyond business litigation and general counsel experience, I have a background in legislation and public policy that I have relied upon to represent clients in regulatory and legislative matters, including First Amendment issues, planning and zoning, and education. The father of a special needs daughter, I take advantage of opportunities and forums that allow me to advocate to enhance the opportunties for disabled children.

Shawn walked us through all our options, did a detailed read of all our documents and documented perfectly what we needed. Highly recommend!
"I have worked with Shawn since 2011, and, during that time, I have witnessed firsthand Shawn’s work-ethic and professionalism – both of which are unmatched by others in the legal community. In addition to being a superb litigator and advocate, Shawn also has prior personal experience as a corporate in-house counsel and general manager. From this experience, Shawn possesses a strong desire and knack for helping businesses prepare for, and defend against, the many disputes and issues that arise in today’s business world, and he consistently makes time to personally address any miscellaneous inquiries and questions from his clients."
"As a young lawyer, I was privileged to learn under Shawn Cavenee. Prior to working with Shawn, I was a judicial clerk in Anne Arundel Circuit Court and had heard Shawn's name on many occasions because one of the esteemed judges there had presided over a case handled by Shawn and the judge often stated that Shawn's briefs were the best legal writing he has ever seen . In fact, that judge gave one of his clerk's a legal brief written by Shawn as an example of "how it is done." I have and will continue to wholeheartedly recommend Shawn as an attorney."
